close up magic

So I am currently in high school and wanted to create my own extracurricular activity. Partially inspired by Stuart Edge who did magic in a children's hospital and this guy named Ricky Mena who meets sick children as Spider-Man, I came up with the idea to do basically exactly what Stuart Edge...

This was an idea I stumbled on by accident, but made the best of it. Plot isn't orginal, however I think the method and handling are.

My take on one of my favorite plots of close-up magic. With this plot, I notices a lot of weaknesses, so I tried to take most of those out. This can be done seated or standing up, and has other handling methods. (References cited as always)

Completely impromptu, angleproof, no gimmicks, duplicates, just sleigh of hand. Let me know what you think,(yes, my references are cited):

Just want to know what you guys think,(don't worry, my references are cited in the description box):

I know the plot isn't original, however my method is completely impromptu, no duplicates, gimmicks, or anything. This can be done with a deck borrowed and shuffled from the spectator. Let me know what you guys think, if it fools you,(yes, even if only the first time), let me know. Thanks!

Taking a break from something like magic can have its silver linings. For instance, you get some fresh perspective on things that are often taken for granted. I was watching the trailer to an effect the other day, and one of the selling points of the effect was that you could offer the...

I desperately searched the web for a cheap foldable table or even a DIY step by step guide to make one, without success. So I made one, here's the result. If anyone interested I will share more info on the design. cheers
